You can’t avoid dust and dirt during your window replacement. However, with proper preparation, you can prevent them from spreading around your home.
Learn how to minimize the mess during your project from a trusted window installation company.
Seal Off the Area
One of the best ways to contain the mess for the installation of bigger windows is by hanging plastic drop sheets around the work area. Keep in mind that this approach will only work by keeping the space airtight and closing all gaps.
Close All Doors
Closing doors will prevent dust from spreading throughout your interior. Keep rooms not accessed by your replacement window contractor closed through the duration of the project. It will also make cleanup easier and more effective.
Drive the Dust Outdoors
Place outside-facing fans around your window to blow as much of the dust out as possible. Take note of the weather because strong windows can blow the dust back into your home. Fans should effectively contain the dust in a smaller room.
Seal Vents
Turn off your HVAC system during the project to reduce airflow within your home. However, if heating or cooling is necessary, consider taping the vents in the rooms where windows will be replaced.
Cover Your Belongings
We understand that you can’t remove every piece of furniture in the room where the project will take place. But what you can do is place them as far as possible from the windows. Cover them with plastic or cloth so they won’t get covered with dust.
